California Angels Primary Logo

The California Angels were known for 31 years before changing to the Anaheim Angels with the purchase from Disney. Their original logo in 1965 is a carry over from the move from Los Angeles, great looking logo with wings on baseball. The following logos of the full state of California with a halo on the corner is true to the name of the state. The last two logos are typical baseball logos of interlocking letters “CA.”

After the “Big A” was removed from the parking lot in 1992, the Angels returned to their roots and re-adopted the interlocking “CA” logo with some differences. The Angels used the “CA” on against the traditional blue background circle with silver outline. The “A” has a silver halo on top. Designed with Major League Baseball Properties, the logo is similar to one the Angels had from 1965 – 1970.
